"EH HEM!" a loud voice yells, clearing its throat out, making the various bandits and naga's eating under us turn to look at it, a few hissing and growling as they do so.

I turn, and see one of the royal guards of brasurburge, standing at the end of the dining hall, looking disgusted at the rabble that has been squatting in my castle.

"Attention" He says, the grey haired man moving his hand to the pistol at his side with a cold look in his eyes "I have come to bring a message from Lady Mizuki to Lady Iris and....her consort the...distracting rainbow demon...as well as a package from head chef Snack, if any of you scum could lead me to either of them I'd be sure to ...reward you in some way or another"

"that idiot is going to get himself killed" Iris says after a long drawn out moment of silence.

I just laugh, and smirk

"Yeah he probably is, should've of figured she wouldn't leave her room, especially with that her new friend of hers around" I cackle happily as I let myself drop, flapping my wings so I don't plummet into the giant bowl of....Meat? under me

What do I do?
[] Threaten the bandits/nagas before they tear the guard to pieces
[] See what the guard brought
[] Distract the crowd so Iris can get the message
[] angrily ask why all these people are still in my castle
[] Annoy the guard for no good reason
[] Go and bring someone/thing with us, before we go
[] let iris handle this, and go to hell
[] Ask Iris if its really a good idea to travel with my giant castle
[] Redecorate the place while I still have the time to
[] Tell Iris I'm taking a bath with my daughters <switch to Iris>
[] write in

Also I've been thinking about trying to start to write a book.

“Yeah, and they're a bunch of mercenary moneygrubbing Chinese communist pussies!” yells Serafina as she butts into the crowd of commanders. All the commanders start arguing with each other. Even the Automotive and the Automotive Fan Clubs are finding an excuse just to yell at each other for their different tastes in cars. Hadley's own crew was yelling at everybody on her behalf.

Ugh. The minute Griselda leaves, things fall to pieces.

> Get Griselda, she needs to do something about this!
> You're Griselda's XO, it's your job to try and calm the team down! Do it!

Fuck yeah. Glad you're running Raven.

The adrenaline is staring to wear off. As it drains away from your body, pain flows into the empty, jagged spaces left behind. Walking on this broken leg is starting to get really difficult.

Alex sees you struggling. "Lean on me." She slings her H&K, takes your arm with both of her hands and drapes it over her shoulders. You gingerly test resting a little of your weight on her. "Harder," she says. "I'm a big girl, I can take it."

Roxie laughs. "Is that what you said to him last night?"

Alex gives her a look.

"Just a joke, Shades," she says. "Take it easy."

You ask Alex, "Where are the others?"

"Ryuji is somewhere around here," she says. "I asked him to cover me from the shadows. I haven't seen much of him since then, so I guess he's doing his job."

"What about Nick and Ken?"

"I asked them to cause some chaos out in the city," she says. "Draw the Triads' attention away from here."

"You think they're okay?"

She hesitates. "I'm sure they're fine."

>your life has been turned upside-down
Flipped, turned upside down? Does Johnny wanna take a minute for us to just sit right there and let him tell us how he became the prince of a town called Bel-Air?

I'm so ready for this.

Alright so posted in the OP Post is the playable organisms that you can use for evolutionary purposes in this thread. Got a nice little dossier of info for each of them. (Slight embellishments made to maintain a sense of realism)

Present Setting: We revisit Rienia at a time period similar to Janus' as it is entering the transitional period between the Ordiamentian and the new Sulioaic Era. This transition between the areas saw a gradual drop in surface temperatures on the surface, leading to the expansion of the Rienia's ice caps. Despite this volcanic activity is still frequent and will soon return global temperature to normal. Underwater, life can now stably live in the abyssal trenches of deep ocean, with the stabilization of the seafloor crust. Opportunities are abundant for life on Rienia in this new era.

--Organism Advancement--
> Plant Organisms may be as large as the size 8 increment as stated here
> Plant Organisms may now inhabit the deep sea, and the coastlines of Rienia.
> Animal Organisms may be as large as the size 7 increment as stated here
> Animal Organisms may now start evolving a respiratory system.
> Carbon-based nutrients/minerals, along with Silicates, Calcium, Iron, and Selenium are present in the environment and may be incorporated into an organisms diet/evolutions if desired.

--Planet Statistics--
Atmosphere: 77% Nitrogen, 10% Oxygen, 3% Sulfur Oxide, 4% Helium, 4% Carbon Dioxide, 2% Other Gases
Average Global Temperature: 71°F (22°C)

Volcanic Activity: Frequent
Weather Systems: Turbulent Storm Systems

--Organism Advancement--
> Organisms may be as large as the size 4 increment as state below.

Meels were the best

You are now Charlemagne anons.

Because of the fact you just single-handily fought off a Vietcong ambush, the medics requested to have a look at you, astonished that you were perfectly fine. Of course, during this time you are being examined, you are keenly thinking about how to properly help the french forces... You have settled on a strategy of flanking them and crushing them completely, though your brother Viktorious has just called you... And apparently sent you a "get-well-better" present.

So of course, you pick up the phone.

"Viktor?"

"Hey. I heard you got a little hurt and that dad gave you a commission in Vietnam... Just seeing if everything's alright."

"Yeah. Just a little hurt."

"Good, good. No permanent injuries?"

"Just a sprain in my leg, really."

"Ah... Don't tell mom. She's been acting rather maternal recently..."

"Right, heard about it... How's everything in America?"

You hear a rather happy laugh.

"Great actually! I finally am getting some long overdue work done, that sort of thing... I even went out on one of those parties I never went to. You know the ones, with the booze and the women?"

"Really?"

"Well, my cabinet hauled me along. Well... I should say I did. Forcibly. But it was fun. Never really did that before."

"Well...I'm not a fan of clubs..."

He sighs a bit.

"For God's sake, you should really get over your conservative catholic values at some times. I might also be a catholic but I don't let that get in the way of fun, eh?"

"Am I the only pious one in this family?" You say, and sink into the bed.

"Yep, pretty much. Don't get me wrong though, we didn't go to one of those fucking stripper clubs, just to a speakeasy."

"Well, that's good."

"Yeah... So anyways, mind if I ask how your relationship is going with Svana?"

"I mean, I miss her a lot. Could you tell her I said hi?"

"Oh, no problem. Anyone else?"

"Yeah... Mom and Revenaris. Oh, also Claw."

"Yeah, got it... Not dad?"

"...Let's just move on."

"Fair enough."

You talk with Viktorious for a few hours and eventually say your goodbyes before you hang up... And you hear the present he sent you was a rather thoughtful gift of a fancy machete. You decide to hold onto it.

Of course, your quick march hits a problem... The road seems to be blocked by a landslide...

Which way will you go? Time is of the essence in order to flank the Vietcong and save the French!

>Go through the jungle! It'll be fast and all your handheld supplies will make it through, but vehicles will be forced to stay on the other side, meaning no armored support or transportation.
>Clear a way through the jungle. It'll be slower but all supplies will get through and you'll have armored support.
>Try to find a backroad? Potentially the second fastest and most effective way, but a high chance of being detected or ambushed.
>Climb over? The fastest, but highest chance to be detected and ambushed, and you'll lack vehicle support.
>Write-In

So OP did you have the names of the children for me?

Oh and did we name tiberium. If not I might have thought of something

Oops, forgot this in the original post.
The green ball thing is algae, and the black oval with tentacles is a thing that eats the algae.

You look at Rowan, who stands in front of you, ready to go take care of your plants. You then look behind him, focusing on the sacks of dragon shit. “Lets just hit the books.” you say as your nose crinkles at the smell of the manaure. Rowan laughs as he sits down and takes off his gloves. “You act as if you’ve never had to do a little bit of yard work.” You look up from your notes, giving him an odd look. “Why would I ever have to do yard work? That's what the servants are for.” you say as if it's common knowledge. Rowan looks at you slightly confused, but only for a split second. His face quickly changes into one of slight annoyance, rolling his eyes at you. “Of course you haven't you rich git, it was a joke.” he replies to you, picking up his herbology book and flipping it open. “Bad joke.” you say with a smirk, dodging a paper ball thrown at you by Rowan.

You spend the rest of herbology dutifully studying, only stopping every now and then to mess with Rowan much to his annoyance. You’re both able to review a good chunk of your notes, though you still cant really find the ambition to try to remember some of the harder things. Oh well, you’ve still got time to study. The bell signals the end of class and you and rowan pack up your things up and head out, waving a goodbye to Professor Sprout as she wishes you all a good weekend. As soon as you step out, you’re hit by temperature change and shiver a bit. You rub your hands together to try and create a little warmth as you survey the snow covered grounds. Its beautiful. And even better, class is done until exams! Your thoughts are interrupted by Rowan, who's a bit ahead of you. “You coming back to the common room?” he shouts at you.


>A. Return to the common room with Rowan
>B. Explore the castle
>C. Head to the Library
>D. Look for Pandora

Nyan and I were wondering how many of you are reading this quest, so let us know who's best girl!

>>1030183

"I am."

You grumble. Aparently, getting your skull smashed over and over again by Atma's
greatsword of love isn't reason enough for Roomba to disregard the templar. Or hide from
her. Besides that, you could draw a few other easy conclusions from your war counseling
session with the Fake:

-Both you and Trash might be paranoid.

-Atma is a lovely girl who went through a lot.

-Atma isn't a genocide waiting to happen,

and, most importantly,

-Toast is ditching Vaal from the team.

What the fuck. When confronted with Atma's true berserker being, your tiny boss of a Fake
simply said that anyone can be nice. You included. She clearly doesn't expect that
someone ever confronts Atma over any reason whatsoever, which may also mean that she
never expects the Friend to sink. Which would be nice. Very nice.

Before Trash's happy field trip, Roomba decided to give the Friend a second glance.
She spent at least two hours talking with Vaal and Atma about furniture. The ship already
came with its own, but it didn't stop the three of them from spending a whole hour arguing
details. Even if the world was about to end. That talk must have been some serious fucking
business for them.

The shopping trip, at least, was fruitful. The place was big and smelled of wood, it had a
labyrinth of aisles, a tall roof, and you don't remember the name. You went out on your way
before anyone noticed, and once they did, the girl-scouts team found you next to a fine speed
lathe (a bit short for your taste, but it'll do), a CNC milling machine packed with a lot of
extras, a cheap as fuck coreless induction furnace, drawn over with the the face of a guy
with a creepy smile, and some crucibles and flasks. All already over a hovertruck. All ready
for delivery. Your little tool hunt got you a funny static face from the templar, and like ten
thousand questions from the little plague doctor. You wonder if the respect and awe you
got from the mask will be shared with the scared girl behind. A while from there, Blanky
and Toast finally came back from their own private journey around the market. Simply put,
the Friend is getting a little library, a gym (something that made Trash's eyes glimmer),
and a shit-ton of blankets and furniture. Right before you asked the toaster if her hidden
protocol triggered or if she had gone full-blown retarded, you realized Vaal paid for the bills.

"I got a call from a little girl." When Vaal said that, everyone knew who she was talking
about. It wasn't hard to tell; their faces were hard as reality. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon.
Her "friends" won't want me a mile near her after this."

Back at Trash's apartment, as the templar dials on her cellphone, you find yourself really
wondering what "this" could be.

(Cont!)

"Nope, it's not picking." Trash squints at the cellphone, then turns to Roomba. "Bravado's
not taking the call."

"Is it working?" You ask.

Trash nods. "Just checked."

And your tiny warchief seems crestfallen. "Let's just hope he's ok." Roomba says, her voice
low. Toast, you barely even know the guy... thing. "Maybe we should call !'%& and his
team?"

"It would kill three birds in one stone." Roomba flinches just a bit at this."Kinda worried they'll
bullshit, though. It's starting to look bad. Seen the news?"

Roomba's eyes widen. You both turn to Trash.

"Captain slaughtered some guys that tried to poison the Herd by gifting cakes with weird
shit." Trash says. "Don't ask me how in the fuck she found out, but it's one hornmother down
and eleven guys, three womans, and even a little kid off the book." The look on Roomba's
face. It's like she doesn't understand. "And fuck me in the ass with a pulsar scythe if this book
could somehow have a happy ending."

Roomba just stares at the templar, then sighs on her own after a while. It's a long sigh. She
turns to you. "Nielly? Input?".

>>1034252
>Think of sexy thoughts and jerk off

>>1034557
You think about Sasha, the succubus you enslaved. (She's pretty into it, if that makes you feel better)
You masturbate, ejaculating into the hot spring's water.
You have accomplished much this thread.
That had better wash away... maybe you could fill this pool up with semen and throw prisoners into it. That'd be effective.
You get out of the water and summon some wind to dry yourself. You put your clothes back on and walk into the main hall, sitting down on a fancy chair you've reappropriated as your throne.

What should you do now?
>[]Check up on Pris. That masturbation session was ok, but the sexbot's going to make everything so much better.
>[]Go hunt those varmints who tried to break down your portcullis yesterday.
>[]Draw lackluster porn of Sasha on a grenade. Bombshell pun optional.
>[]Other.

The trading of blows continues in the command deck. The car vs the fast tank. The action reaches a high point as the SW and Drifter trade blows. A pile driver hits drifter as the shockwave hits her, both slowing down as both take a nasty hit. Both now entering a final stage. The pile driver entering cooldown, but now the weapon being used to beat down the car.

>HP4/15!
>Dodge 2 more times!

>>1023214

As the blows are shrugged off red fires without issue. The carbine hitting the SW with limited effect, but noticed scarring. You notice the strike witches are attacking you less and moving to others.

>Dodge 2 more times?

>>1023220

Taking aim, only one weapon reports errors on target confirm. The other two shots connecting on the "slowed" down SW. The SW turning being downed with two massive holes in the pilot. And her angry partner having no effect with her swings.

>>1023229

Noticing a nasty hit about to happen, the fort decided to spin around to deflect a shot. As it did so however the shot was deflected into the blades path of one of the SW! However there is a massive ERROR message over his hud as the command virus is being fed back into your suit! You where able to shut the program off before anything took effect, but with no effect either way.

>Dodge 2 times!

>>1023243

Sieging down with newfound armor, bas tries to do what he can with what effects he knows of. Throwing things hard. Actually connecting a few power poles, While none are downed, one was actually pinned for a moment before shakingly flying back.

>HP 2/15!
>Warning lights are showing!
>Dodge 3 times!

>>1023269

Getting hit and feeling the scratch, IT tries to grapple with the SW. Failing with the new tactic, the combat continues, both SW trying to keep their distance while trying to attack.

>HP 12/15
>Dodge 2 times!

>10/12 SW left!

The grin on the pilot of Intersect Thunderbolt's face died as a wireframe overlay of the mech on his HUD began to flash yellow in several places. The two Strike Witches combined efforts were beginning to chip through his armor.
"You're lucky we're supposed to take you alive! Surrender before than changes," the pilot snarls, opting to place more distance between himself and his attackers. That the various conventional war machines piloted by humans had been fair game when these Witches had been given a strict no-kill order was questionable in of itself, but it wasn't a habit of his to fight the instructions team leaders unless they earned it.
"And about that," he mutters, tabbing over to Vanguard through the command uplink.
"Vanguard, Intersect," the pilot's eyes glance over the sortie roster on his HUD, noting the number of names flashing red, "I hope whatever plan you have is about to close, because we're getting fragged out here. "
As if to punctuate the point, one of the Witch's rifles leaves another scorch mark on the hull of his suit.
"Can't promise that nonlethal order is going to stand, Vanguard. Request change of orders."

You are in the room of an inn in Bridge Town, with a snoring Ben in the nearby bed. Merriam is in another room, thoroughly spent from last night's activities. And you are staring down a thin, light-haired and cream-skinned elf with narrow eyes and a smirk that could start a fire.

"Well, thank you for looking after him," you say, walking around the room until you are on the opposite side of the bed than she. Ben, completely out of it himself, remains blissfully unaware of your conversation. "I don't suppose that in addition to elven hearing, you have an elven name as well?"

"Kaylessa," she replies with a slight bow of her head. "And he told me about you already."

Your eyes narrow. If a drunken Ben whispered your secret to an elf, he's officially outlived his usefulness. "Did he..."

"Your name is Mary, and you're the one I should talk to. The 'brians' as he put it."

'Flattering, Ben, and not incorrect.' You smile again and say, "Well, here we are, talking. But what about? Perhaps you could start with why, exactly, you spent the night with my companion?"

She folds her arms and leans back against the nightstand. "I want a job."

"A job?" you blink. "I wasn't aware we were hiring."

"You might not be, in which case I'll leave and we'll go our separate ways. But Ben here was going on and on last night about how he is an adventurer now, and how he slaughtered three giant bats and a legion of undead."

"Well, he's at least a third correct," you smile. "But yes, it's true. Ben's going to be a big hero someday."

In the bed, he lets out a snort and rolls onto his side. You both look up from him and back at each other. Kaylessa speaks first. "Well, every hero starts somewhere. Maybe I can help, in exchange for some occasional coin, and a share of the loot, food and campfire warmth. And companionship, too."

You size her up. She's an elf, which usually means she's got more going on than what appears on the surface, but you can at least see a bow. She may be an archer, but she might also have some magic about her. It's often difficult to tell with elves.
